Event:

(547) Golden State Warriors at (548) Los Angeles Clippers: 1H Spread

Date/Time:

April 12, 2026 8:40 PM EDT

Play:

1H Los Angeles Clippers -3.5 (-110)

This is a free play on LAC 1H.

Both of these teams are heading to the play-in, but while the Warriors know they need to win two games, the Clippers have a chance to clinch the 8th seed which would give them two chances to clinch a playoff birth. The problem for the Clippers is that Portland is a -16.5 point favorite at home against Sacramento, and if the Blazers win then the result of this game is meaningless. I still think LA has to come out and play to win in the first half, but if they check the scare and see the Blazers in full control they may pull the plug at halftime and rest their starters for the second half.

Event:

(555) Sacramento Kings at (556) Portland Trail Blazers: Spread

Date/Time:

April 12, 2026 8:40 PM EDT

Play:

Portland Trail Blazers -16.5 (-110)

Since 2013, large NBA home favorites are 627-519-18 ATS (55%), while .649 or worse favorites of -15 or greater are 77-51-1 ATS (60.2%) since 2008, covering the spread by an average margin of +3.0 points per game. Sacramento arrives off a shocking 124-118 upset win over the Warriors as 11-point underdogs, which is significant because 300-or-worse double-digit underdogs coming off an upset win are 111-144-5 ATS (43.5%) since 2008. Portland is coming off an impressive 116-97 win over the Clippers on Friday, and large NBA underdogs like the Kings are 168-217-5 ATS (43.6%) versus opponents that have pulled down 13 or more offensive rebounds in their last game. This situation is 77-119-1 ATS (39.3%) since the beginning of the 2018-19 season. From a technical standpoint, Portland falls into one of my most profitable systems: Play On: Large NBA favorites with an average season point spread of worse than -1.91. This situation is 185-124 ATS (59.9%) since 2005 and contains a 158-96 ATS (62.2%) subset angle that is 109-57-1 (65.7%) since 2018. Lay the number with the Portland Trail Blazers as Jeff Keim's Free Pick Winner for Sunday, April 12.

Playoff Implications

• A Portland win on Sunday secures the 8-seed. Sacramento has gone 8-9 straight-up over the past two weeks, causing the Kings to fall out of the top three in the lottery.

Event:

(557) Denver Nuggets at (558) San Antonio Spurs: Spread

Date/Time:

April 12, 2026 8:40 PM EDT

Play:

San Antonio Spurs -1.5 (-110)

2% on San Antonio Spurs - ATS | Good until -3.0.

Last weekend, these teams played and it was an epic battle that ended up going to overtime. Considering that this game doesn't have a factor in the standings due to both teams clinching the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds already, there's a possibility that the benches are used much more in this game to rest players. I think that the Spurs have a much better bench and rotation. San Antonio also will play with revenge here after losing that game. I like it to get back at Denver for that loss and finish the year with 63 wins.

What Types of NBA Free Picks Are Offered By WagerTalk?

NBA Betting Picks Today, NBA Predictions Tonight 

One of the most refreshing aspects of NBA picks free from WagerTalk is the frequency with which they're offered.  These are not AI picks that are just churned out nonsensically a week in advance.  These NBA picks free that are made available for today and for tonight's NBA games reflect the most recent news, injury reports, trades, matchup evaluations and much more.  They're fresh, they're frequent, and they're spectacular. 
 

Free Against the Spread NBA Picks

ATS NBA bets are some of the most popular choices for NBA bettors.  They're also among the most difficult. NBA bettors, however, and NBA experts, can sometimes find a nice edge in ATS NBA betting - maybe a line doesn't totally take into account some statistics or maybe bettors have shifted the line incorrectly.

Maybe two teams match up in such a way that the spread is moot. Only you can find out by getting your picks free for NBA bets from us

Free NBA MoneyLine Predictions

NBA moneyline betting picks are free and common from WagerTalk.  You'll see them every day from WagerTalk's team. NBA moneyline betting could not be simpler. And makes your watching of the games pretty straightforward - you simply pick the NBA team that you think is going to win. A heavy favorite won't see a generous payout, but an underdog will.

Total Points, Over/Under Free NBA Predictions 

Grab WagerTalk's free NBA over under picks daily. An over under pick simply refers to whether or a team or combined total of teams points will end up being more (over) or less (under) than the designated line for that game.

If an over/under line for an NBA game is 201.5, and you place a bet on the over, you need the teams to combine for 202+ points. It's that simple. Over/under betting can also comes in halves and sometimes even quarters - and you can get longer odds if you select a less likely over/under line offered by a sportsbook.

If two high-scoring NBA teams match up, you could very well see some pretty extravagantly high overs - but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look - but check with our NBA expert handicappers first for their suggested free NBA picks!

Props & Parlay NBA Betting Picks - Free NBA Picks & Parlays

WagerTalk gives you free NBA player props and team props throughout the year.  The undisputed online leader in NFL and MLB player props, WagerTalk's expert prop bettors apply that knowledge to NBA props as well. 

Is there a tasty NBA player prop out there that you haven't noticed?  Maybe a not particularly good at rebounding guard is playing against a team that bombs away from long-range and bricks hard.  Maybe that player's over/under rebounds line is something like 3.  Well, in this matchup, he's got a good shot at knocking well past that 3 rebounds, making him a great NBA player prop pick - WagerTalk can find that prop. 

Guaranteed NBA Picks & NBA Hot Picks Today

Any premium NBA package purchased from WagerTalk has the option of making it a guaranteed NBA pick - which simply means you can insure your purchase.  

NBA Hot picks today and tonight are covered in both premium paid picks and NBA free picks - our NBA expert picks take a look at matchups that might be misconstrued by the current odds and show you ways to take advantage of potential mismatches.

What is line movement and how can I use it for my NBA bets?

How can I make Same Game Parlay Bets on NBA Games and how do SGP's work?
